Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Custom Signs & Construction Equipment

  • Why is signage important?

    Signs, especially for a business, are more than just advertising. It is the first impression a potential customer will receive of your business. Colors, fonts, and even sign shapes can convey a lot about your business at a single glance.

  • Do we complete maintenance or repair on signs we didn’t originally build?

    Absolutely! Our journeymen study and train to maintain signs of all types, old and new. 

  • What is the process to get a sign made?

    Having a custom sign made can seem daunting. That is why we have a specialized team to help you through it. In general, the process will look something like this:

    1. We work with you and our designers to develop the correct signage scheme you need for your situation.
    2. After you approve our artwork, we will gather necessary signatures from landlords and/or landowners to allow us to install the sign.
    3. If your project requires it, we will apply for permits. 
    4. Once we receive signed permits, we will begin manufacturing your sign which depending on the complexity of your sign and our pre-existing queue, manufacturing can take between 2-6 weeks.
    5. We install your sign.

  • How long does it take to receive permits?

    The time between permit submittal and having signed permits can vary greatly depending on which city your business is in. Typically, however, a review time of 2-4 weeks is required.

  • When will my sign be finished?

    Every sign project is different. Different due to size, quantity, complexity, installation locations, etc.… Because of these differences it is difficult to give an exact completion time without first reviewing your project. The sooner you are on our schedule- the sooner your project will be completed.

  • Do you have an in-house designer?

    Yes, we do! We encourage you to set up an appointment to meet with our design team. Bring your ideas to the table and we will work with you to design your sign.

  • Am I able to provide my own sign design?

    Yes! If you have already created a design and want it made into a sign, we are able to take your design files and convert it the needs of our machines.

  • What type of design files are used?

    If you are sending us pre-designed graphics, .PDF and .EPS are preferred file types.

  • Why does file type matter?

    Images saved with .PNG or .JPG file types (or others) may not be saved to a high enough pixel ratio for us to use and when enlarged the image will become pixelated.

  • Do you have an electrician?

    No, we do not. Our Sign Journeyman are trained and certified to complete electrical work on the signs themselves. We cannot complete electrical work beyond the scope of the signage itself.
